    I’ve been working with John for over a year now, starting as a complete beginner with no prior experience. I was nervous at first and unsure of what to expect, but he immediately made me feel comfortable and confident. His approach is patient, knowledgeable, and straightforward. Every workout is tailored to my level, and he challenges me in a way that’s motivating without being overwhelming. Over time, I’ve gained strength and confidence I never thought I’d achieve, and I actually look forward to working out now. If you’re looking for a trainer who makes fitness approachable while helping you push past your limits, I’d highly recommend John.

    John does a great job of listening to your goals and building a program to help you accomplish it. I started to see improvement really quickly and he's as excited as I am when a new PR is set. Highly recommend!

    John is the man! Wholly professional and deeply knowledgeable. Respectful and patient but will push you to do your best. Working out with 910 Training has been a transformative addition to my fitness routine with meaningful improvements to body mechanics and strength. Faster PRs, more waves, and less injuries. Thanks John!

    My girlfriend and I have been training/working out with John for almost a year now. Having spent little time in the gym, I now laugh at my before and after gym experience. John is completely knowledgable about proper weight training techniques to both make lifting safe for my muscles and challenging with so many lifting variations. John is timely, professional, and I appreciate him crafting a combined workout for my girlfriend and I to train and gain together. We have results! If proper training is what you are looking for, look no further.
